If you create a reader (or a writer) object, then it needs to be disposed - in the same method where you are creating it.
The simpeler option is to wrap the reader in a using statement.

That's why we have documentation, examples and tutorials. The syntax for a using-statement is not complicated.
If you want to modify code, you'll have to learn those things

i usually learn better with examples..when i apply something here and there i memorize and i know how to do later for other code..i also keep some records of code to use when i need : )
Thats why i started this project by trying the .ini method...i was already familiarized with it : )
..you said for me to change into xml..i did and i already learn a lot of new code ehe
Thanks... at least my gadget is evoluting... i would like to solve the issue about the saving!

We all learn in a similar way, and yes, examples help a lot. That's why the documentation on MSDN contains an example for most classes and methods. It also contains the syntax, which explains which construction the compiler expects.
Alienoiz wrote: when i apply something here and there i memorize and i know how to do later for other code
Sorry, but that's not going to work, since the thing you may remember may be required in a slightly different way, or needs to modified a tiny bit, or extended a tiny bit. Get a book, learn basics, and get in the habit of looking up every statement that you don't understand on MSDN.
Alienoiz wrote: Thats why i started this project by trying the .ini method...i was already familiarized with it : )
The problem there would be that initialization files are outdated, and they were never meant as a data-store.

Yup, that's true; and you seem willing enough to learn and try.

Type the word "using" as the first word on the line below in your code, and see what happens;
xmlFile = XmlReader.Create(filePath, New XmlReaderSettings()) I'll leave it up to you to figure out where to end the using

The "end using" is placed usually after the last time (the last line of code) you actually need the object you're using. After the end-using the object is no longer valid. Depending on your code, that may be the last line of the method.

What does "not working" mean? I know you got a message from the compiler, but which one?

Red means "error", which you already said. Hover your mouse over it, and it will display a message. Alternatively, you look in the error-window.
It may be "Type is not defined". The one on "XmlFile" would say that it hides another variable. And yes, you already declared a variable with that name. What happens if you remove the first declaration?

In that case the file is locked by something else; is there a writer in another procedure? Are you viewing the file in an XML-editor while debugging? For example, if you open the XML file using Word, then Word will lock that file, causing an error if you try to read it.

So if is good in the xml, the problem must be with the reading code...this is what i am using for read:

If Not File.Exists(filePath) Then
MessageBox.Show("DataBase not found!")
Else
Dim sav = TextBox1.Text
Using xmlFile = XmlReader.Create(filePath, New XmlReaderSettings())
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim dv As DataView
ds.ReadXml(xmlFile)
Dim dset = ds.Tables.Count
If dset = 1 Then
dv = New DataView(ds.Tables(0))
dv.Sort = "Date"
Dim index As Integer = dv.Find(sav)
If index = -1 Then
MsgBox("Nothing set for this date!")
ComboBox1.Text = "01"
ComboBox2.Text = "00"
ComboBox3.Text = "AM"
TextBox2.Text = ""
TextBox3.Text = ""
TextBox4.Text = ""
TextBox5.Text = ""
TextBox6.Text = ""
TextBox7.Text = ""
Else
ComboBox1.Text = (dv(index)("HOUR").ToString())
ComboBox2.Text = (dv(index)("MINUTES").ToString())
ComboBox3.Text = (dv(index)("AMPM").ToString())
TextBox1.Text = (dv(index)("DATE").ToString())
TextBox2.Text = (dv(index)("PLACE").ToString())
TextBox3.Text = (dv(index)("NAME").ToString())
TextBox4.Text = (dv(index)("PHONE").ToString())
TextBox5.Text = (dv(index)("EMAIL").ToString())
TextBox6.Text = (dv(index)("HEADER").ToString())
TextBox7.Text = (dv(index)("MEMO").ToString())
End If
Return
Else
MessageBox.Show("No MEMOS in DataBase!")
End If
End Using
End If
End Sub
any ideas?!!

The code you have shown does not join any texts; on reading the contents of a textbox are replaced.

yes they are supposed to be replaced...but is joinning the xml text!!!

I'm not sure what you are seeing, but the assignment-code is not joining anything.

well i write:
"Hello
World"
and when i read it returns: "HelloWorld"
simple as that..i do not know what is wrong..after writting i check the .xml file and it is written:
"Hello
World"
i do not know why the text is joinning!!!

That is an observation, and might happen due to other code. Like the way it is written.
textBox1.Text = "Hello";
textBox1.Text = "World";
Means the first value will be overwritten. There is no joining there.

..if you look at that text, you'll see it already has three lines of values before you read it. Are you using multi-line textboxes? If not, then only the first line will be displayed.
I'll bet that you are not overwriting those values on save, but appending them. That's where they get joined.

I don't see anything.. aw, wait, did you mean by "join" that it is removing empty space from the string?
If yes, then that is the normal behaviour. Easiest solution is to encode the data, or wrap it in a CDATA structure.

Putting the values directly in the tag has its limits; imagine you put the value "<test" in="" there.<pre="" lang="cs">
<xml>
<mysetting><test</mysetting>
</xml>
As you can see, saving that string would cause the XML to be malformed. The easy solution to both problems is to encode your values in base64 (and decode them when reading).
To convert a value to base64;
Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("Hello world"))
To convert back to your value from base64;
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String("base64charshere"))
